My family and I (a kid, a teen and 2 adults) love this recipe! The pancakes have so much more flavor than regular pancakes, thanks to the whole wheat and the brown sugar (great addition!). I just tried the recipe for the first time yesterday, and it has already gone into the family's "best recipes" book. My only concern was that, as I never have buttermilk, i used milk + sour cream to replace it; turned out great, however there was too much milk and the batter was very runny. I'll put less milk next time, so the pancakes are fluffy.

What a surprise! I was looking for something to do with spaghetti squash, found this recipe, tuned down my initial "eww..." and "uh...." reactions, tried it... and I LOVE IT! So does my husband, and his 8 year-old daughter is going to try it tonight - we'll see how she likes it :) TRY IT, TRY IT, TRY IT!!!

I was looking for a recipe that used almond powder, and I found this; I replaced the almond extract by almond powder (I put a little less flour, about 1/4 cup less, and I put a quite large 1/4 cup of almond powder instead). It's yummy!! My family likes it a lot, but most especially my hubby who, however, doesn't have the biggest sweet tooth.

I used this recipe to make the "choux" that I wanted to use for my wedding cake (traditional French "piece montee", or "croquembouche". So needless to say, I think this is the best recipe!! :D

Used it on the puffs (at least the one that had coffee-flavored custard cream in them :) ) to make my wedding cake (croquembouche) - it took a while to make. Out of the three icings I made (chocolate, coffee and vanilla), it was the longest. But It was worth it!!

My step-daughter is a vegetarian, like her parents, but of course, since she's 8 years-old, marshmallows have quite a pull on her... She wants so bad to try them! So i've been looking for recipes. I've found online a recipe with agar agar, but since I didn't have any (yet! will go get some today!), I decided to give this recipe a try, even though it's so badly rated. I read all the reviews, and hoped I would be one of the two or three people who commented here, who successfully made marshmallows from this recipe. Unfortunately... no. The crumbly white mess is here to stay. I put the saucepan and everything else that touched it into hot water, so it doesn't set and I have an easier time washing it; and I'm gonna look into candy recipes so that I can use the "stuff" (for lack of better word) into something else. Now, the lack of any gelatin/agar agar/other "jellifying" agents must account for something, but since some people did get marshmallows, I must look at what i've done. I think that i may have used the electric mixer too hard, because it certainly didn't take 10-12 minutes for the soft peaks to arise. So... if you do decide to try this, use the electric mixer at the lowest speed, take your time, ... and good luck!

Just tried this recipe for the first time, for my stepchildren, who are vegetarian, but who are dying to try marshmallows.I used vegan gelatin instead (couldn't find agar agar anywhere; I bought "Natural Desserts' unflavored jel dessert"). I had read all the previous reviews, and i took a reviewer's idea to take the steps backwards -preparing the eggs first, then the gelatin, then the syrup, and when that was done, mix with the gelatin, and finish by adding that to the eggs. Worked like a charm. I was disappointed though, at the last step, to NOT see the whole thing "exploding", "expanding", etc... like others have. I had prepared myself for it (used my big KitchenAid bowl for it), and was expected to see it, but it didn't happen. So I wonder if i've done something wrong (I did follow the recipe exactly; the only thing different was the vegan gelatin, so , maybe that changed something? Anyways, at least i didn't have any mess to clean up! :D Right now the marshmallows are still resting. I did taste some off the spatula that i used for spreading the "paste" into the dish, and it tasted really fine, really like a marshmallow that you let melt in your mouth. I'm still waiting to see them dried though. About the drying process, has anyone tried putting them in a warm oven? I was wondering whether that would help or not... PS: it's been 8 hours, and there's a crust on top, but underneath, it's still marshmallow mush... :( Is it linked to the vegan gelatin? To the "non-exploding
